The Minister for Gaeltacht Affairs, Sean Kyne, said that the announcement demonstrates practical reasons for people to study Irish.
“Often, school students have felt there were only very limited careers arising out of Irish language studies.
“This is a wonderful opportunity to pursue a rewarding international career and to raise the profile of our national language across Europe.” He said.
The jobs would be based in Brussels and Luxembourg.
